1. INTRODUCTION There is a general exodus of rural population to the cities with the rapid industrialization in developing countries. The infrastructure to support these cities, such as buildings for housing and industry, mass transit for moving people and goods, and facilities for handling water and sewage will require large amounts of construction materials.
